In honor of Ed Olson’s 35+ years of devotion to Mt. Ashwabay — through his leadership in ski patrol, the ski team, and his tireless commitment to community — the Ed Olson Memorial Scholarship Fund was established to carry forward his spirit of generosity and inclusion.
Your donation provides financial assistance to youth and families, ensuring that cost is never a barrier to participation in Ashwabay Alliance programs. Scholarships support all youth programming, from ski and snowboard lessons at Mt. Ashwabay to music and arts programs like Bluegrass Camp and beyond.
Every gift helps create opportunities for young people to learn, grow, and experience the joy of the mountain and the magic of the arts — just as Ed would have wanted.
Your support keeps Ed’s legacy alive — helping every child find their place on the slopes, under the tent, and in our community.
